Comments Thread For: Orlando Cruz Dedicates Salido Fight To Emile Griffith

[BoxingJunkie]

It's sad but the only press he seems to get these days is about his perverted sexual orientation. Orlando Cruz is turning into a sick side show.

i hate when athletes do this, it makes no sense...

is he dedicating his purse from the fight to emiles family?

there is nothing to be received from an athlete dedicating a fight or game....


emile or family, has enough accomplishments and fame, cruzs ridiculous

dedication earns him or the family or legend of emile nothing....

all it does is give cruzs dumbass attention...

i dont think he is dedicating his PURSE to anybody,he needs it for wen he goes out at night.LOL

I always thought that Griffith was the first open ****. In fact Benny Paret called him a "non politically correct" name repeatedly, as did a few others. And the "guy" was a ladies' hat designer and maker, making them at home first before he branched out after retirement. There were articles about it from time to time.

No, he was in the closet. So, when Paret kept using the m-word, Emile decided to teach him a lesson. Too bad Paret didn't live to learn from it......

This is a classy gesture by Cruz. Maybe he should have dedicated his last fight to Griffith because I think he will likely lose this one and maybe by brutal ko.

I believe in the word of God, "The Bible".

A man was created by God for a woman. A woman was created by God for a man. It's written in the bible. I hope Orlando Salido doesn't go down [ I mean punching Cruz with body shots to the stomach] cause Salido might damage Cruz uterus.

Orlando Cruz dedicated his next fight to the late Emile Griffith on a conference call Tuesday.

Puerto Rico’s Cruz, the first openly gay active boxer, will meet Mexico’s Orlando Salido for the vacant WBO featherweight title Oct. 12 in Las Vegas. He came out of the closet last October and has been applauded for his courage to do so while still boxing.

Griffith, who acknowledged after his boxing career that he was bisexual, died July 22 at the age of 75. [Click Here To Read More]

Damn. This guy is a circus. Whats next? Ringside seats for Elton John, Clay Aiken and Ricky Martin? Ring walk with the cast of Glee? Makeup in the ring? Ballerina skirt instead of boxing trunks? Ballet shoes? Where does it end?

i seriously want this dude to get KTFO





f@gs want to be treated normal, they need to stop using their f@ggism as some kind of special thing

I'm Puerto Rican, but...

I rooting for the Mexican Orlando Salido to also knock him out, this is a macho man sport. The only gay boxer superstar that I rooted for was Sugar Ray Leonard, but at the time he fought I didn't know, now I know he never came out of the closet but I know what time it is.
